What was long planned to be a trip to Rangoon to visit a friend turned out to be a very last minute trip to Krabi, Thailand. Long story short: we done goofed. Though Alex had the diplomatic paperwork to get into Myanmar, I did not. We were under the impression that visas were given on entry into the country but non-diplomats have to arrange ahead of time. We were very upset and bummed about this. Fortunately, the airline, Air Asia, was very nice about it and said we they would honor our tickets for a future date.
After letting our friend know we weren't coming, we decided to take a trip anyway as the Myanmar trip was a planned birthday trip for Alex.
So, we ended up rolling up to the Air Asia ticket window, asked where they flew and randomly picked Krabi. Pretty cool feeling to do something like that. Here were the results:
Das Geburstagskind.
Low tide, out about 100 yards compared to higih tide. This is the view during low tide right in front of the hotel beach.

Double selfie.
Sunset. These pictures can't do it justice.
Like a mountain range filled with water. Beautiful.
One of my favorite pictures ever. Taken by Alex. The middle one is actually two people hugging. Must have been their honeymoon. We have so many incredible pictures of them. They happened to be silhouetted perfectly during the sunset. Probably should have offered to email them to them. Will do if we run into them before we leave.
View from hotel pool. Not bad for a last minute jag.
We rented a longboat for the day to check out a couple nearby islands.
Thai longboat. Beautiful, rickety, awesome.
Hong Island.
